Soldier Minerva Bonnie

One of the CEF's genetically engineered clones sent to conquer Terra Nova, Bonnie has moved on from piloting a hovertank to controlling a highly customized Wildcat Gear in the arenas of Terra Nova.
She often competes in the arena with her former gunner, Soldier Maxwell Clyde, and her side in his customized Boa. They have even kept their engineer from their old days, who now repairs their Gears.

Adrianne Bils

Ace pilot Adrianne Bils has had a long career with the Peace River military. After cycles of service with the Peace River Defense Force and later the Peace Officer Corp she now tours as part of a demonstration team as a publicity effort to improve Peace River's reputation amongst badlands communities.

Emili Royal

Trained by the Southern Republic Army, Emili left the service when it was revealed her brother had ties to terrorists. Scion of a wealthy family, she joined a Gear Sports team and became addicted to the celebrity life and various mood-altering substances. Her legitimate professional career ended as her team found her performance wanting and her drunken antics bad for the team's image. She took her Dartjager to Khayr-ad-Din and continued a downward spiral as a independent duelist for hire.
The Interpolar War brought a new chance for her as she joined the Khayr-ad-Din Army, got clean, and found a new purpose in her life. Now Emili Royal still fights with KADA as well as offering her services to Arena teams that can afford a top-tier duelist.

Musashi

Fond of flashy melee combat maneuvers, this Iguana is equipped with a pair of Vibrokatana.

Sadie Toepfer & Bowser

Sadie discovered her ancient Hunter while playing with other kids on a ranch in the Northern Karaq Desert. Enthralled by such an amazing find, she wasn't bothered by the Gear's decrepit condition and didn't realize she had recovered the legendary Bowser, an unusually intelligent Hunter. As she repaired her Gear she discovered it had some interesting habits, including walking off on its own at night and a refusal to start for anyone else but Sadie.
After her parents were killed in a skirmish during the Interpolar War, Sadie turned to underground dueling to keep her and her brother alive until they were adopted by experienced veteran Adriane Bils. Despite her young age (barely a teenager in Earth years) she has become a popular arena fighter with her unique Gear.

"Sledge"

While Sledge is older Gear chassis, its pilot knows every quirk and tolerance of the design. Sledge takes it's name from the trademark hammer used to smash opponents.
